Celebrated for a visual language that brings together unexpected materials and radically unconventional techniques, New York painter Julian Schnabel has been a pioneering, and controversial, figure since his first solo exhibition in 1979. Join History of Art graduate student Rachel Chamberlain for an exploration of the UMMA exhibition Julian Schnabel featuring works from the mid-1970s to the present, including works from Schnabel’s renowned series, the Plate Paintings and Wax Paintings.
The exhibition Julian Schnabel was organized by the Brant Foundation Art Study Center. Lead support for UMMA’s installation is provided by Joseph and Annette Allen, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the University of Michigan Health System, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, and Retirement Income Solutions.
